Ventuz Forum

Hi,

I'm trying to render to disk whilst in full screen and using a Runtime license. I came across the application in the link below that works when using a designer license but not in full screen as it gives the error

"Could not start Render-To-disk mode in Ventuz: Remoting2: Render-to-disk: Could not initialize Remote Render-to-disk mode on the Renderer: Render-to-disk is only possible in Windowed mode: Failed"

When using a Pro Runtime license (in windowed mode) I get the error

"Remoting2: Render-To-Disk Error: Failed to create stream: Remote Render-2-Disk not licensed: Failed"

However I do not get this error when using a Designer license and it renders as expected when in a windowed mode.

Is there a way to render when in full screen using a Runtime license ?

Thanks.

Hello,

with the designer dongle, which usally also helds a runtime license, you can render to disk INSIDE the designer.
To be able to use Render To Disk with the same dongle in RUNTIME you need a R2D License for the Runtime.

To verify that, please check the Ventuz License Manager.

If you need that option, please contact sales(at)ventuz.com

EDIT:

the question is: what do you want to achieve?
Is it that you simply would like to render out of the designer to disk in FullHD?
If so: you just need to specify the OUTPUT RESOLUTION inside the Render2Disk dialog

Hi,

I am trying to render out in HD whilst running a scene in fullscreen (preferably with a Runtime license) but I also need to output the audio. Is there anyway in Ventuz to do this?.

I noticed that tool I mentioned only supports image sequences.

Cheers

Hello,

in the output for the RenderToDisk options for the control set it to interactive (for example), set the duration,select the OUTPUT settings, just select any kind of VIDEO Codec, like MOV or AVI.
Define the Framerate (FPS) and SIZE (full HD in your case) also CHECK "Write audio file" and there you go

all this is done inside the designer

hope that helps a bit

Hi,

I am aware of this functionality in designer, I need to be able to do this at Runtime (VentuzPresenter) using a Runtime license.

Is this possible?

Cheers

Hi!

As Dennis wrote above, you need a Render2Disk option for your runtime license. The regular Runtime license does not offer this functionality.

Hi Christian!

Thanks yes we have been speaking to Jose about the R2D add on.

Can someone confirm that the runtime R2D will capture changes to the scene data tree and render them out?
Our requirements are to record a sequence of events that we fire to the scene via the scene data from our external control system. There will also be audio playout in the scene.

Will the R2D enable the rendering of this live?
Does it capture all the scene data changes that we send across and save that as an "interation" that we can then render out?

Thanks,
Joe

Hi all!

The Render to Disk for Runtime/Presenter is a Remoting 2 feature.
You have to program your own remote app to control the render-to-disk process.
Ventuz can record the Remoting 2 commands for specific frames and replay them.
But this does not work for Remoting 4. So in your case, Joe, you cannot use it.

Hi Karol,

Thanks for the reply - that makes sense of something I couldn't quite get my head around looking at what Gareth and Joe were trying to achieve...

I've read the documentation and it referenced passing a RemotingHelper instance to create the connection - that's been deprecated in V4, so that explains why it's not possible to use this code as part of a Remoting4 based application.

It raises the question for me then, seeing as Remoting2 and Remoting4 have very different models with regard to externals, how do you use the Render2Disk with a native V4/V5 scene that doesn't conform to the model of exposing everything at the highest level to ensure compatibility with V2 Remoting libraries?

What we need to do is use a V5 runtime with the R2D add on if necessary, controlled via Scene Data using Remoting 4, and lay off that output in realtime to disk. It sounds like this isn't possible - are there plans to make this available in V5?

Thanks,
Craig.

Hi Craig!

You are right - unfortunately!
Currently you have no chance to use Render-to-Disk with Remoting 4.
We are definitely aware of this lack! And working on something which will close this gap - but this is a long-term project.

Karol
